    Front hubs, no problem. For the rear, BMX hubs can be used for a freewheel, but fixed gear hubs are designed with a reverse thread for the lockring to keep the cog from coming off. If you are building a wheel, it is probably better to choose a hub designed for what you plan to do with it. If you already have the BMX rear hub you will save a bit of money, but if you have to buy a hub anyway there is no reason to not buy the right hub.

    A) 35 because of the fact a hundred% is all or an entire B)0.35 C)80x9=720 so like a million/9 of 720 is 80 D)70x8=560 so approximately 0.12 of 560 is 70 E)840 and the total volume of 8th graders is a million,050 F)50 s x 40 =2000 so 200cmx40= 8000 good good fortune!!!

    sure, you'll want to use a spoke length calculator to make sure you get the right lengths.

    but: the problem is BMX hubs are different width for the axles / dropouts than a road bike.

    I think you could if the spokes will work with the hub.
